They’re already trying to whitewash DOGE, so there’s that.

French is the language of “we paid for the whole alphabet so we’re going to use the whole alphabet”

Vast and bountiful? What bounty are you seeing? Wal-Mart?

There’s a town in Illinois called Sauget with an ongoing debate over how to pronounce it. None of the dozens of pronunciations are what you’d think.

Tennessee just loves being cultured. Did you know that Nashville has a full-scale replica of the Parthenon?

Not sure, but it really reminds me of Pajama Sam.

With a mangled pronunciation if the place is French!

Along with Paris, Tennessee

People love confident voices that will do all the thinking for them. I’m really into weight training and fitness, and the amount of times I see someone share a clip from a “science-based” fitness influencer and say something like “I didn’t check the sources but they cite all these studies” is wild.

and once I saw a comment on reddit that replied to another comment with a Google AI overview screenshot, and said “AI said its source is [site] so I believe it.” The summary had a clickable link to the source in the text and they couldn’t even do that.

If I see the existence of a product being acknowledged in any way, I just assume it’s an ad.

Now, you want me to actually go to your store and try your product? Put some promotional coupons in my mailbox, I love that shit.

I don’t want this community, or any community on Lemmy for that matter, to become a lucrative platform for advertisers. If someone wants to promote their own product that they made, they should have some credibility as a real person beforehand. Not a brand-new account trying to sell a subscription to an app that’s essentially still in open beta.

Ridesharing still gets you the 33 cars.

My wife is really into weird horror films, so I got her to sit with me and play Until Dawn. She likes it because she gets to participate without actually having to play. She enjoyed it so much that we went on to lksy every Dark Pictures Anthology game, the Quarry, and we even pre-ordered Directive 8020. So no doubt she’s going to want to get this.

Saying the quiet part out loud.

More like D’aww-ly!

…well, I am now.

Mine’s a Triton bard that plays 80s glam rock and dresses like he’s in Motley Crue. Nothing weird about him.

WARNING: DO NOT PET. DO NOT GIVE SCRITCHES. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, OFFER SNUGGLES.

But when I do the same thing to them when all they needed to do was reboot their device, somehow I’m still the asshole.
